Fire Sprinkler

System
WHAT IS A FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM?
A sprinkler system is an active fire
protection method, providing adequate
pressure, integrated system of piping,
connected to a water supply, with listed
sprinklers that automatically initiate water
discharge over a fire area. Where
required, the sprinkler system also
includes a control valve and a device for
activating an alarm when the system
operates.
HOW DO FIRE SPRINKLERS WORK?

Fire sprinkler systems are

triggered by extreme heat and can
quickly extinguish a fire in the
room where it started.
TYPES OF FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS:-
 Pre-action:- Pre-action fire sprinkler systems are filled with air
and water is allowed to pass through when the smoke alarm or
detector goes off.

 Dry Pipe:- Dry pipe sprinklers are similar to pre-action

systems as they use pressurized air in the pipe which exits before
water escapes.

 Wet Pipe:- Wet pipe fire sprinklers constantly have water in

them. This allows for a quick reaction to a fire and is the most
common type of sprinkler installed in buildings.

 Deluge:-These types of fire sprinkler systems also need a

smoke or heat detector like the pre-action system. A deluge system
has open nozzles that can be used when a hazard is present.
HOW IS FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM
INSTALLED?

Sprinklers are installed by specially trained

contractors who follow NFPA codes and standards
and other local requirements.
